shave tested all 3 razor's all of them failed...... meeting with my mentors this weekend, hopefully I'll be able to get something done!

hey guys thanks for all of your help I am meeting with a mentor on Sunday! just so you know I just honed another razor and I think I might have hit it on this one! shave test tonight on all three of...

Bevels set and sharpened through 8k. Then stropped. In two days I will attempt another shave test and keep everyone posted. Thanks for all of your guys help- just shaving off of my leg and arm hairs...

I actually feel that I have the bevel set now, under magnification everything looks even and I feel suction between the stone and the razor on both sides. I Bought a Zulu gray 10pups but I will not...

actually I'm going to scratch the edge because it looks like the bevel is not set all the way through under magnification and I will start from the 1k and move on up.

okay guys so I said I'd let y'all know when I took a shave test, long story short both razors failed. though I do not know if it needs it I am going back to the 4k anyway and I will do the...

That's my plan, one razor for one sideburn, the other razor for the other side and take it from there! You must have read my mind- thanks Wayne!

thanks pinnk but we're actually looking to put together a meeting in the New York New Jersey area on June 2nd so that would be a good learning opportunity for me!

So here's my game plan for you all, I am going to test shave each side of my face with each one of the razors, if they are not shave ready then I will go back to the stones- the 4k and work in a...

I might add that I have a baby's amount of whiskers on my face, they just don't grow in quick or long so the shave will not take place until at least tonight or tomorrow.

It really is a very valuable resource, that I never expected to receive so much feedback. Thanks to everyone and I will keep everyone posted when I shave!

Thanks ace,- you have provided me with invaluable information and I appreciate it!

Btw I smoothed it very well-- lapped it twice and took off the sharp edges and sides as we'll.

Thanks Jimmy, I shouldn't be jumping the gun so quickly I guess!

Yep it did become less audible, I really like it and can't wait to use it correctly!

I do have to say mainaman that I could def feel the cutting power of the jnat slurry. There was an audible difference as we'll. Kinda cool I think!

I appreciate all the help guys keep it coming! I have never been steered wrong on this site so all advice will be taken into account as always, and much appreciated!

No I actually retracted that statement- maksim said it would be higher than 12k so like an idiot I just through that number out there. However I corrected myself and said it's higher than 12k. I...

Stupid question, besides making sure the bevel has been set by not seeing a reflection, what am i wxactly looking for under magnification?

Like bob said I'm gonna try to shave BEFORE I get myself frustrated- for all I know I could've done a great job( though I highly doubt it!). If not I'm going to take them back to the 8k and follow...

I hear ya unit, I was actually just reading some of your honing posts to other guys and it's consistent with everything you're telling me. Just one more- all of my stones accept the 1k are ss's. As...

Thanks ace, though I did not use a jewelers loop, the edge does not seem to reflect light to the naked eye. I will check with the loop when I can find it! Thanks again!

I did shave my arm- nearly bald from wrist to elbow but it's not popping hairs, it just doesn't seem 100% effortless, but I think you're right I should probably test shave. I will say that it does...

Hi guys- rookie honer here needs your advice. I just "honed" 2 razors. I used a 1k chosera to set the bevel, a 3k/8k pyramid off of the naniwa super stones, then I did 25 x strokes on a nani ss,...
